After what feels like forever, with Marvel executives constantly promising that an LGBTQ superhero is coming, the major movie studio has revealed who the first one will be – the Thor franchise’s Valkyrie, played by Tessa Thompson.

At the...

In the action-packed trailer for upcoming martial arts/fantasy series, Wu Assassins, two female characters – played by Vikings star Katheryn Winnick and Firefly icon Summer Glau – lock lips in a blink-or-miss-it moment. Are we about to be introduced to another soon-to-be-iconic same-sex power couple? The martial arts genre is severely lacking in queer representation, so this would be a welcome breath of fresh motherfucking air.

As a Gen X-er who saw my life in movies like The Breakfast Club and Reality Bites, I’ve gleaned much of my knowledge about guys from the next generation by dating them. In the last dozen or so years, nearly all of my romantic interests have been born between 1983 and 1996, which covers the bulk of the era in which millennials were born. As much as I enjoy the company of gay 20-somethings (and for the record, my dates...

While the term “daddy” has gotten more and more popular in the gay community over the past several years, therapist Matthew Dempsey’s latest YouTube video explores what actually makes a gay “daddy?” “Growing up gay, most of us didn’t have parents who shared that identity and could guide us through that experience as we stepped into adulthood. Enter the gay daddy,” Dempsey shares in the intro to the video. “Whether for friendship or romance, we can easily find ourselves drawn...

“It always amazes me how gay guys stay friends with all of their exes. I’m not friends with any of mine.” Hmm… I never considered gay men and exes-as-friends until Grace did on a recent episode of Will & Grace. She offered her observation while watching Will cook for his ex-turned-breakfast guest Vince, who announced his wedding to his boyfriend of nine months in between bites. “Obviously, you’re invited, but you don’t have to come,” he said. Obviously, Will went–with Grace,...

I just finished a post by asking my mother to set me up with Gus Kenworthy Sally Field and Adam Rippon-style, and while that's never going to happen for about nine-hundred different reasons, I now have this intense gay make out between Olympics freeskier Kenworthy and his sexy actor boyfriend Matthew Wilkas as a consolation prize. And consider me consoled! Kenworthy and Wilkas love to goof off on social media, and this usually entails not-so-subtly flaunting their insanely ripped bods...

Throw the complexity of being closeted into the mix and you have yourself a tornado of emotions that is indescribable and weird. For many of us, we’ve experienced this in our teenage years—you know, that awkward stage when...
